I was considering finding a way to make a sliding roof rack that can hold 4 full-size solar panels that could be opened up when the car is parked and used to trickle-charge the battery when plug-in power wasn't available.

1.06kw worth of panels.. In my ideal scenario, When folded out, it would be about 5'5" x 13'. Compacted would be similar to having a turtle pack on the roof of the car.

Is anyone attempting anything similar currently? The one other project I saw looks like it's specifically needing an internet connection to feed data between the solar array/inverters and the charger. Since this would be remote, it wouldn't have internet access.
